About this product
The Serbian-American Paris-based pianist Ivan Ilic has signed a new multi-album recording contract with Chandos Records, following internationally acclaimed recordings of works by Godowsky and Feldman. His first project on the tag is a series devoted to the solo piano works of the Czech composer Antoine Reicha, a contemporary and lifelong friend of Beethoven. Although best known for his contributions to the repertoire for wind quintet, Reicha wrote vast quantities of solo piano music, most of which has never been recorded. The manuscripts, preserved in the Bibliotheque nationale de France, were published only recently. Offering premiere recordings of the Grande Sonate in C major, the Sonata in F major, and three excerpts from Practische Beispiele, this first volume confirms Reicha as an authoritative, singular voice, whose piano works complement and enrich our understnanding of Haydn and Beethoven. Volume 1 is a coproduction of Chandos, RTS (Swiss Radio), and the Palazzetto Bru Zane- Centre de Musique Romantique Francaise in Venice.

For this his third volume of works by Antoine Reicha, the pianist Ivan Ilic turns to one of the composer's most extraordinary works, L'Art de varier, Op. 57. 'The Art of Variation' consists of fifty-seven variations on a theme (that the number of variations match the opus number is not a coincidence) and was composed in 1802 - 03, at the beginning of the six-year period which Reicha spent in Vienna, where he studied with Haydn and re-kindled his previous friendship with Beethoven. The set is remarkable for it's scale and invention. Ivan Ilic describes the work as the missing link between Bach's 'Goldberg' Variations and Beethoven's 'Diabelli' Variations, which was certainly influenced by Reicha's work. The recording was made at Potton Hall in Suffolk, on a Steinway Model D grand piano.
